HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

To celebrate my overwhelming gratitude and love for every single one of you readers, I sought out some of my favorite bloggers and shop owners to participate in this group giveaway today. I did this with a lot of thought and prayer... who, oh who, did I want to participate?! :) If you have not stopped by these lovely ladies' blogs or visited their fabulous shops yet, do so ASAP-- I think you will love them just as much as I do!!

Valentine's day is a special day for the hubs and I, but not an extravagant day. We don't do gifts, we choose to spend time together. Tonight we're hitting up our favorite Italian restaurant and then a new artsy cafe for after-dinner coffee!

I am spending my valentines day at work but I work at a childrens hospital as a nurse so tons of love will be spread around! And this weekend me and my boyfriend are seeing Lady Antebellum in Dallas and staying in a nice suite to celebrate Valentines day together!

My boyfriend has been working in another city, about a 1.5hour ferry + hour drive away, since a few days after our two year on December 3rd. I've quit my job and we are moving over there officially at the end of the month.

Since he's left, we visit every two weeks but we only get two days together. He either comes home or I go over there and we stay at his moms (right now he's sleeping on her couch half the time and on his cousin's living room floor the rest of the time). This past weekend I went over there and we spent the WHOLE weekend driving around looking at rentals but weren't able to do anything special as we have to save up for the move and for my unemployment (hoping that won't be long! first time since I was 15 I won't have a job!).

Since we can't spend Valentine's Day together, we're just going to chat on the phone tomorrow night and I'll likely eat a container of ice cream while I watch bad tv. haha.

Once we're moved in, we'll go out for a late Valentine's Day date to make up for it.

For right now..we've got a body of water keeping us apart..but only 16 days left!

I love Valentines day. It's my chance to lavish mr big with all manner of delights - a 1950's workshirt, love notes all through his lunch, tix to a concert, naughty emails, a fruit delivery. He deserves it all and more.

we don't really do much for valentines-it's sandwiched right in between christmas and our annv. so we usually save plans/money for the anniversary. however, we do have some sweet friends coming to watch our littles this weekend so we will definitely be getting a date night in this week :)

This years Valentine's Day is going to be filled with a 5 hour drive and because of that I won't be able to celebrate with any of my loved ones but I will make sure I will send them little love notes and give them extra attention and love.

I hate to admit it but Valentine's day will be spent pretty much like every other day. chores during the day, another evening of not eating dinner as a family due to scheduling differences, and then a swim met. But we will have dessert as a family once everyone gets home for the night! Ah the life of house full of teenagers!

wow! this is an incredible giveaway! so many lovely ladies (: my man and i are waiting til tomorrow to celebrate valentines so today i'll be working, doing some zumba and relaxing with some netflix! :-P

This is amazing!! Well, our Valentine's day started with my hubby bringing me a Starbucks grande white mocha in bed, and it will end with us having a picnic on the living room floor (our tradition) and watching a movie (lady & the tramp) :)
